Sooo Juicy!

Today’s recommendation is for a book that I have only read excerpts of so far, but if you are at all interested in politics or power, Game Change: Obama and the Clintons, McCain and Palin, and the Race of a Lifetime by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin seems like a must-read. Somehow, from a race that was written about ad infinitum, these two reporters from New York and Time seem to have found fresh dirt, from amazing sources. One of the parts I read was about John Edwards and his indiscretions. After it was starting to get out that he was having an affair, he yells at his staffer, “Why didn’t you come to me like a fucking man and tell me to stop fucking her?” The best part is that this staffer did try to get him to cut it out, but he wouldn’t listen. Then, Elizabeth Edwards, who aides say is the total opposite of what her public persona is, called a staffer in the middle of the night and screamed, “Get me out of here! I’m not campaigning for this asshole another day.” Good stuff, right?! There are a couple of conversations between the Clintons that are verbatim, which means that clearly one of them was an unnamed source for the book. Juicy, I tell you! It’s the number one selling book in the country right now. I think I’m going to wait for the paperback, but you can buy it here.

Etc.

Will Arnett is hilarious. He was on Letterman last week and told a great story about giving his kid a Dorito. He and Amy Poehler (his wife) must be great together.

Are you having a good week? Hope so!
